On Monday the 10 June, Callum and I went to Rugby Park for training with the All Blacks. We were each given a top which put us into groups. Callum was orange and I was blue.
When we arrived at Rugby Park we had to show our security pass to get in then we went up into the stand and got our boots and mouthguard ready. There was a selection of trophies: Webb Ellis Cup, Bledisloe Cup, Woman's World Cup and the I.R.B Trophy. We went and got our photos with them then we got called to the field.
We split up into our groups and went away to different places. Each group had a coach. Orange’s coach was Fletch and Blue had Lee Golding and Warwick Taylor. They took us through a couple of drills involving passing, tackling, communication and side stepping.
About 20 minutes into it there was a voice through the speaker saying, “Can we please have a cheer for the All Blacks”. They ran onto the field. In Blue Group we had Ma’a Nonu and Francis Saele. Orange had Brodie Retalic and Sam Whitelock. They joined in the games and helped us a lot. 5:30 came and they called us to sit down and they handed out an award to one person in every group and then we got some signatures on our T-Shirt it was a GREAT night.
